First off today -- apologies for those who tried to access the report early. We've been moving the "live" time earlier each day this week as we refine the system for getting through the content and getting the edit done. I thought we would hit the 11 am ET milestone today, but then YouTube decided it didn't like the clip I uploaded.

If you had a chance to check out "Millionaire" yesterday, I got off to a good start. The question was "Which city is known as Venice of the East?" I correctly (though somewhat indecisively) led Bryan to the correct answer. (Bangkok.)

More "Millionaire" today and throughout the week.

The idea for Pat's Papers has been kicking around for about three years. But it's really just been the past month that all of the pieces have come together for the launch.

The main daily news update will be on the patspapers.com home page. This is my personal blog, which is a companion to the main site. The is the space for everything that doesn't fit within the format of the main daily update.

Our challenge with the site will be to find the balance between delivering enough information for you and delivering too much. I've found an editorial team that will work each morning to comb through the nation's headlines to help me get the webcast uploaded each morning. Our challenge in launch week will be to get that work done first thing in the morning to get the headlines online in time to be useful to you.

Pat
